Mutu Buah Sawo Selama Periode Simpan Berbeda (Quality Of Sapodilla On Different Storage Period)

Sari Buah sawo adalah salah satu buah tropik yang dipanen sebelum matang fisiologis, sehingga membutuhkan masa penyimpanan. Proses penyimpanan dilakukan saat proses distribusi. Selama masa penyimpanan terjadi perubahan mutu buah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui perubahan mutu buah sawo yang terjadi selama masa simpan terhadap kekerasan buah, kadar air dan total padatan terlarut (TPT). Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada Maret sampai Juli 2017 di Laboratorium Teknologi Produksi Tanaman Divisi Hortikultura Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Padjadjaran, Jatinangor. Metode yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 3 perlakuan dan 6 ulangan. Perlakuan yang diberikan adalah penyimpanan 0 hari (P0), penyimpanan 5 hari (P5) dan penyimpanan 10 hari (P10). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa periode simpan yang berbeda berpengaruh terhadap berbagai parameter mutu buah sawo, seperti kekerasan buah, kadar air dan TPT.

Sapodilla fruit is one of tropical fruits that is harvested before physiologically mature, thus it needs to be storage. Storage is held during distribution process. During storage there are changes in the fruit quality. The aims of this research were to study the changes of sapodilla fruit quality during storage period towards fruit firmness, moisture content and total soluble solids (TSS). The research was conducted in March to July 2017 at Plant Production Technology of Horticulture Division, Agriculture Faculty, Padjadjaran University, Jatinangor. The experimental design in this research was Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 treatments and 6 replications. The treatments were 0 day (P0), 5 days (P5) and 10 days (P10) storage. The results showed that the different storage period affected the sapodilla quality parameters such as fruit firmness, moisture content and total soluble solids.
